2024 was a year of remarkable achievements for NASA, marked by groundbreaking missions, scientific discoveries, technological advancements and continued space exploration. As we prepare for 2025, the agency continues to push the boundaries of human exploration and knowledge.
The UK government are investing £113 million in hydrogen and all-electric flight technologies to revolutionise zero-emission flights that are “guilt-free”.
Combining data on the Tarantula Nebular from two different observing proposals, a team from Hubble has revealed how interstellar dust interacts with starlight in a variety of environments.
Using the QUIJOTE experiment, scientists are now producing the most accurate description until now of the polarization in the microwave emission processes in our galaxy.
The previous publication of Open Access Government showed that the project is partly active on achieving higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) for combined SESAR Solutions in Very Large Demonstration (VLD)-like exercises and partly in complementary activities of ongoing projects. The most current status will be reported on.
An opportunity to further understand the early universe and the lonely dwarf galaxy has been provided by the near-infrared camera of the James Webb Space Telescope.
The stunningly high-resolution telescope has captured yet more pictures of our universe in unprecedented detail and beauty with its newest release showing us the ‘Pillars of Creation’.
A collaboration of the two greatest telescopes has resulted in this stunning image of the phantom galaxy Messier 74 located 32 million lightyears away.
It seems every week the magic of the James Webb telescope grips us all again, viewed in unprecedented detail the telescope has revealed the giant storms, moons, rings and auroras of Jupiter.
Due to its size, Jupiter should theoretically have even more specular rings than Saturn however research has shown that its massive moons are preventing this.
